Identification of AREB/ABF Gene Family Involved in the Response of ABA under Salt and Drought Stresses in Jute (Corchorus olitorius L.).

ABSTRACT: The abscisic acid (ABA)-responsive element binding protein/ABRE-binding factor (AREB/ABF) subfamily members are essential to ABA signaling pathways and plant adaptation to various environmental stresses. Nevertheless, there are no reports on AREB/ABF in jute (Corchorus L.). Here, eight AREB/ABF genes were identified in the C. olitorius genome and classified into four groups (A-D) based on their phylogenetic relationships. A cis-elements analysis showed that CoABFs were widely involved in hormone response elements, followed by light and stress responses. Furthermore, the ABRE response element was involved in four CoABFs, playing an essential role in the ABA reaction. A genetic evolutionary analysis indicated that clear purification selection
